Héritière of the National Circus School, founded by Annie Fratellinis, the Academy of the same name is an international centre of high-level training in circus arts and performances. Located in the district of La Plaine-Saint-Denis, in the business district, it covers 5 500 m 2 entirely dedicated to the circus arts. The concert rooms, designed by architect Patrick Chine, are among the most exceptional in the Parisian region, including a large 1 600-seat tent, entirely wooden without any internal pole, and offering a privileged setting for all forms of show. The activity of the Fratellinis Academy offers a regular, demanding and popular programming, but also user-friendly, since "relaxation circus" is organized there, the dates of which are shown on the website. Finally, this place, which hosts artists in residence, also offers a School of Circus Arts for Children from age 5, as well as courses during school holidays. It's a very nice place to discover.
